So, we're standing around the ER, finishing up paperwork and generally bullshitting.
My partner takes off his glasses and makes some comment about it being hard to write out his patient report.
Somebody else says, "You think that's hard? Wait till you're wearing bi-focals!" That person turns to the ER doctor and says, "Right, Doc?"
He very seriously replies, "Yeah, they're a real pain," demonstrating how he peers over the top of his glasses. He continues, without realizing what he is saying, "Especially when intubating... or doing a pelvic exam!" He's leaning forward, still demonstrating the head tilt and peering over the glasses.
The room goes quiet. Furtive glances are exchanged. Smiles start to break out.
The doctor looks around, "What!?" Then he realizes what he said and turns beet red. The room breaks out in laughter. Then we leave to go get another patient...
